How can I export my Ubuntu terminal's color scheme for use on other computers?

On the system with the colors and settings you want, run:
gconftool-2 --dump '/apps/gnome-terminal' > gnome-terminal-conf.xml
then gnome-terminal-conf.xml
to your git
repo.
Then on the other machines, run
gconftool-2 --load gnome-terminal-conf.xml
to set it.
If you're not sure how to use git
, see the git tutorial, and github.com for a popular git hosting service.
Note that this method overwrites all settings. Try running
gconftool-2 -R '/apps/gnome-terminal'
to see all the settings that will be affected.

How can I export my Ubuntu terminal's color scheme for use on other computers?
I've set up a color scheme that I like and I'd like to put it in a git repo for easy loading from other machines. Any strategy that would make it work in other terminal apps too, such as Konsole?

invert about 13 yearsSCM for terminal color profiles? I would never have thought! You can also use Ubuntu One, or Dropbox, to share file between PC's and friends.
